Passover Hagaddah conclusion "Next Year in Jerusalem" deemed "unhelpful" by Obama [SATIRE]

Passover Hagaddah conclusion “Next Year in Jerusalem” deemed “unhelpful” by Obama administration March 23, 2010 By The Associated Press Shana Habbab (AP White House Correspondent) (AP) — An unidentified Israeli official has confirmed that private discussions between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu included a strong request from the President that the upcoming Passover holiday not include the familiar refrain of “next year in Jerusalem”, citing the passage as being provocative and unhelpful for future peace talks.The Administration suggested replacing it with “next year in peace” or “next year in Israel”, but leaving the final wording up to both the Israelis and Palestinians. Netanyahu is said to have balked at the request, indicating that the refrain dates back well before the UN Partition of 1947. The Prime Minister reportedly attempted to diffuse the situation by noting that the declaration lacks any political significance, adding that most people living outside of Israel just “say the words without having a real desire to live anywhere in Jerusalem.” He further explained that, “at most, they would like to come for the Passover holiday, but only staying at one of the hotels located in western part of the city.”

Obama is thinks he is the king of the world. I would tell him “they invaded us in 1963, causing a war, which Israel won. We have given them land after land for peace and they NEVER once kept the peace. They don’t get one more inch.

...... a strong request from the President that the upcoming Passover holiday not include the familiar refrain of “next year in Jerusalem”,.....

If they'd say "next year in Mecca" then he'd be okay with it

Please tell me this is satire.

Leshana haba'ah b'Yerushalayim has been part of every Passover seder I have attended. It is part of our culture and our history and this year I believe I will shout it out the window.

Thanks for dropping Obama a clue, Netanyahu.

Next year in Jerusalem!

I can’t find the link for this article and when I google it, only this page comes up or references to it.

I despise this president and his policies in general, and specifically his security and Middle East policies, but I need verification before sending this on.

What am I missing??
